Found two books Girly Graphics and Tough Style Graphics which sound interesting as they are aimed at a particular gender and the designs in the them appeal more to men or women, uni doesnt have the books so i could them, but they are not cheap.
Found some data someone, somewhere did female and male favourite colours, which is interesting, but displayed in a very boring way.
Found some websites that specialise in "hip girly design" i think they are mainly american, some of it is nice, other bits are a bit hideous and don't look like they have been done by someone who knows anything about graphic design. But interesting when you look at the following thumbnails how there is a bit of colour theme going on.
Noticing a lot of vector drawing, patterns in the background, dots, there is a craft feel to them but i don't know what I am supposed to do with this knowledge, its kinda like its a feminine design stye that probably appeals to women more than men.
Also found this, which is a whole book where someone has visualised the differences in stereotypes to do with gender regarding school children.
I'm not feeling any flow to my SVR project, i would rather write 2 ITC essays than do the SVR, i'm just not feeling it!
I have also gone through a book called 'Dictionary of Graphic Design and Designers' and as it has a list of all the people it mentions I have photocopied this and highlighted the men and women, and of course there is a lot more men than women, so i am going to visualise this in some way.
Have been preparing for my lesson with Marta as well, creating my worksheets for the students to use and cut out coloured paper and what not. Meeting up with Marta tomorrow to discuss how we are going to do everything.
Once again i look like i have done work when i havent i just keep collect other peoples stuff
